Sounds like the same process I used for my TR3 trans install. I just used
the top dowel, this seems to give a little more wiggle room to get
everything else lined up.

Subject: [TR] Tranny install question
List:
I am a little rusty when it comes to installing the tranny back in my six.
I have a special threaded dowel for the 12 o'clock hole on engine block to
act as a guide. Am I supposed to have dowels at the 2 and 8 o'clock
positions too? I had heard from one person to install a dowel in huge hole
just above the top starter mount hole. Any help would be appreciated as I
think it would speed up my install time. Last time I did one with only one
dowel and it took the two of us 45 minutes of wiggling. Oh, the motor is
installed and I have it attached to a hoist so I can adjust up and down as
needed without resting on the firewall.
Thanks in advance.
